EUROPA League Reaction
MANCHESTER UNITED
VS FC MIDTYLAND –How did the UTD Players fare?
Sergio Romero
Virtually was doing more kicking then saving this time
around, though he was alert when called upon. Is definitely looking more
assured then his first few games earlier in the season. Not at fault for the
goal though.
Guille Varela
One of the bright sparks of the match. The youngster was at
his overlapping best .Was a constant thorn in the opposition side. Linked well
with Lingard and initiated the move for the one of the goals. Needs to be more
decisive though defensively.
Michael Carrick
Due to one of the most terrible injury crisis of all time,
Carrick is forced to play in Centre of defense and captained the side for the day.
Was generally comfortable Aside from some sloppy back passes. Him going to
ground in attempt to tackle the Opposition Player resulted in the goal that the
opposition scored.
Daley Blind
Still not convincing as a proper Centreback.Was neat and
tidy in possession.Sprayed some passes well.However, he neither is physically
imposing nor does he possess the pace that a central defender needs or shows.
He would be more suited as a Defensive Midfielder.
Joe Riley
Another youngster who kept bombing forward well and linked
up well with Memphis. Their Combo could have been better but it was good. He
also did provide good delivery into the box more than one occasion. Was Subbed
for Rojo but can be proud of himself as he had a very good outing.
Morgan Schneirderlin
Finally put in his actual position of being a midfield destroyer.
He kept the midfield ticking ad pressed hard. Also put some strong tackles .Even
hit the post twice .Insanely attempted an acrobatic overhead attempt that Rooney
would have been proud of.
Ander Herrera
Also finally played in his position. Kept pressing for the
ball well and picked out the strikers well. Got forward and found the right
channels well. Was tad a bit lazy to challenge the opposition for the goal though.
Made that up with that thumping penalty though.
Juan Mata
Mata was doing his best to link up with the 3 strikers and
was doing well to find pockets of spaces in the attacking third and middle of
the park. Brushed off the ball quite easily at times .He played a massive part
in supplying Rashford’s second goal though. Did brilliantly to cross the ball
right on the line. Fluffed his lines when he missed the penalty though.
Jesse Lingard
Was running up and down.Attemptd to combine with Varela but came
up short most of the time. Did not take on the LB of the opposition as he
should have. He has no other special characteristics other than being at the
right place at the right time to score decisive goals.
Memphis Depay
Finally, produced a performance worth of his hype and fee.
Was immense in all the goals, not to mentioned bagging one himself and assisting
one as well. Was tormenting the RB of the opposition like a flair winger should.
Even produced a few good crosses as well. Only negative would be his decision
to slow the tempo a little in order to cut to his right food all the time. That
would eventually make him easy to predict. In Europe he would be afforded the
time but in the EPL he has to use his devastating pace and stop being
predictable.
Marcus Rashford
Wow, What a debut. Kudos for LVG for taking the risk (though
Giggs definitely had a big part to play).This boy looks the real deal. He has
pace and tricks and packs a powerful shot. He also has a fantastic instinct of
a striker where he knows exactly where to be at the right time (as per his
goals).Well we have had a few false dawns like Macheda and Welbeck (still debatable
though), but this boy is destined for greatness. Let’s not swallow the hype though,
let’s see his next match before actually labelling him as the next boy wonder
emerging from the youth ranks.
SUBS
Marcos Rojo
Got valuable game time and combined well with Depay at
times.
Regan Poole
Got a good game feel .not much time to showcase his ability.
Andreas Pereira
Still prefer him over Lingard. Has good pace and can whip in
good crosses. Is also skillful and has the flair of a good winger. Needs more
games.
